My name is Julia! I am 20 years old and I am a college student. I love taking care of and having fun with children. I am reliable and trustworthy. I have 6 years of experience babysitting a wide range of ages from infants to middle school aged children. I have also tutored elementary and middle school children, so I'm more than willing to help with any work they might have. I played varsity basketball all throughout my time in highschool, I love to play any sports with kids, and would love to teach basketball (if interested) for a fun time outside!:) Look forward to hearing from you!
Hi! My name is Rudy. I’m a 27 year old trans queer educator & social worker. I moved to Chicago about 3 years ago to earn my masters in social work. Despite having many loved ones on the east coast, I stuck around after falling in love with this city. I currently live in the Irving Park neighborhood and I have a big ole Subaru outback! I work full time as a sexual violence prevention educator at a nonprofit. I’m available on weekday evenings with enough notice, and most weekends. I’ve worked with kids on and off my whole life, as I grew up with a mom who is a theater teacher and I would help her with her after school programs. I also have 25 first cousins, so there’s always kiddos around. Experience: Nanny to a 4 and 7 year old set of siblings during the pandemic years of 2020 & 2021. Sitter to a 7 week old through his 1st birthday. Sitter to middle schoolers. There are no reviews on my profile yet, as I just signed up for UrbanSitter this week, so I’m happy to provide references. I am a responsible, communicative, enthusiastic and earnest person. I look forward to speaking with you, and answering any questions you may have for me!
Hello! My name is Lilly, I’m 27 years old and I work as a School Nurse. I’m looking to connect with a fun-loving family to spend part-time hours with over the summer. I have a long history of working with kids and their families, beginning with babysitting as an adolescent, graduating with my bachelor’s and working as a pediatric nurse for 3 years, and now working as a school nurse. I’m offering childcare, house sitting, and pet sitting services. I welcome working with kids and families of all needs!
My name is Reilly, I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old, and I love kids! Some things I do in my free time include reading, playing sports, and knitting.
“Reilly is a fantastic babysitter: reliable, super caring and loving to my kids, and there for us when we need her! My wife and I can’t recommend her enough.”
Coming from a family with 6 children, and me bring the second oldest I’m already familiar with lots of children around me. Also I am a mother myself now and that also makes me love being around children too. I used to work as a babysitter for some lovely families. Now I have a part time office job, very flexible and u could use some extra work.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
